Food trucking

When an event promises “more beer, more food, more fun, more bathrooms,” what’s not to like? The
Columbus Food Truck & Cart Fest will return for a second year to fill tummies
with portable yummies such as tacos, burgers and pizza — plus dishes from lands such as Mexico,
China, Korea and Italy. Last year’s inaugural event generated long lines, but organizers say they’v
e made changes to speed up the process. Also on tap: 25 arts and craft vendors; live music; and an
American Cornhole Organization tournament, with proceeds to help the Ronald McDonald House. Hours:
noon to 10 p.m.
Friday at Columbus Commons, E. Rich and S. High streets. Admission: free. Visit

Paper flying

will begin at 10:30 a.m.
Saturday, with registration starting at 9, at
Bolton Field, 2000 Norton Rd. Admission and contest registration are free.
